I never said Latvala is a perfect points scorer - I said he's the perfect number 2 driver for VW/Ogier right now. When you have the dominant car/driver combination like VW do then why would you rock the boat? Jari can have a mediocre year and they will still pick up the manufacturers title.

If they actually had to fight for it then some of his results this year would be an issue. I stand by everything I said in my previous post.
